i somehow gave myself a strange fixation for hexagons. it has faded over the years, though.
the first time i took a psychedelic, i took about 2g to 2.5g of mushrooms with an acquaintance. at some point we had decided to go out for a bike ride and there was an easy way to a bike trail. at some point during this ride the geometry of the path made it look hexagonal. the path was the bottom, sky on top, and the foliage on the four other sides. after that experience, i feel slightly happy (?) when i would see hexagons in my daily life.
Only barely related but the first few times i did mushrooms i would get this effect like i was looking through a screen of many hexagonal cells, or sometimes it would look like the environment was a mosaic of very tightly fitting hexagonal tiles.
lasting effects are outliers. i have taken many other psychedelics since then and have not had a similar experience. it was a very strange one-off, i believe.
In college I went through a period of having a lot of mushrooms from having grown them, and also a really good lsd connect. My friends and I were tripping 4 or 5 times a month for probably six months. I had a pretty noticeable persisting effect for a while where if I stared at a wide surface, like a floor, or countertop, or a grassy yard, the highlights and darker areas would start to combine into a floating layer of uhh, like rotating, interlocking cogs, but more floral than mechanical. It was something that I had to try to see though, like I had to consciously relax my vision, in a way, to see it. It felt like a weird ability I'd learned more than a permanent effect of tripping. I didn't mind it and it was never disruptive in any way. It faded over around two years before I realized I couldn't see it at all anymore. I've tripped a lot of times since then too and it hasn't come back.
